    Does your host support php hosting/files?

    yes, it's mybb forum, some of the scripts are working, for example i can open threads, but i can't open my Admin Panel it always wants to download index.php of it. Maybe my host is having some difficulties with php on the server. I just thought that something else could of caused this, maybe change of the permissions of the admin folder?

    the problem could be the AddHandler (usually in htaccess u can change this.) if you dont have htaccess in admin folder then create one and add this

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

    if this doesnt work for you then this is probably your hoster problem

    yup pls share it if you found out what caused the problem.. ^^

    I made some small adjustment on the addhandler. It should be:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

    Not:

    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php5 .php3 .phtml
